Personal statement

Hi. Just wanna ask is it necessary or better to include hobbies like playing piano or doing sports in your personal statement. I currently have multiple things that i could put in my personal statement (all I could talk a lot about and related to my chosen course) but i couldn't put them all. Should i at least include one hobby or should i prioritise with the academic activities like competitions ? Thanks
Prioritise aspects that are directly relevant to your suitability and motivation for the academic subject.

Get your ref to mention hobbies and wider interests if you can’t live without them being mentioned somewhere.
